Kbufu of Cheops of the fourth dynasty was originally 4i0 feet nine inches and the base 7bl fet It isvirtually a mass of solid masmry for the rock must take up but a small proportion of the interior and the chambers and passage have no appreciate relation to the whole bulk The material chiefly employed is the limestonoon which the structure stands which was in part oletued away to make alevel platform 1 but tho finer quality used for thecasing stones and liniug of passages was quarried on the other side of the river nearly ten miles away and the red granite also used for inner casing and lor the sarcophagus was quarried at Syene at the extreme south of Egypt nearly 550 miles awaj by the course of the river We mustrinomber that tho third pyramid uovv 103 feet high was cased in part or wholly with granite of Syeno How did the Egyptianscontrive to transport and raise these vast blocks of stone Let us look at the whole process rirst a labor of quarrying without any of the modern aids of blasting must have beenenormous especially when the hard red granite which turns the edges of our modern steel tools and yet was cut by i bronze ones had to be hewn out anil shaped into accurate blocks The transport to the river was not difficult and the descent on rafts during the high Nile would have met no risks but from sandbanks At this period of the year tho rafts would have been brought by a canal very near the site of the pyramid A causeway of which there are remains would have made tho land transports less dillioult But it must be remembered that the only mode of moving great masses on land was by means of sledges drawn by men or oxen So far we see only a vastexpenditure of almost unaided labor how vast we do not appreciate for it isbeyond imagination to master thetremendous work we are constantlyconfused by our being unable to cast away the modern notions of facility to which we are accustomed All this prelim inary labor was followed by the actual work of building The great pyramid is not a mass of piled up stones it is a model of constructive skill A sheet of I paper can not be placed between the oasing stones and we can scarcely im agine that any mortar was spread on ttieir sides The passagos present no roughness that could arrest thesarcophagus Everything was exquisitely finished Allowance was made for the pressure of tho vast mass The great chamber of the sarcophagus has no lees than five small chambers above it to lighten the superincumbent weight over the first passage two great stones are placed in a vaulted position for tho same purpose In consequencenothing has given way Our real dillioulty begins when we endeavor to explain any mode by which the groat blocks of which the pyramid is buUt were placed in position at their various heights until the top stone was put upon the summit and tho work of oasing completed the wonder It would be easy to find a method if it did not entail as much labor as the building of the pyramid HseU Rejecting any such view the mostreasonable conjecture that can be offered is that incline planes ran along the sides of the giant steps in which the pyramid was built and that the stones were dragged up them by the workmen It is necessary here to note that when the 1 nmomiT wu hfuI boen placed in i the sepulchral chami 1J i passage was permanently closed and heavy portcullises lowered at intervals this needing great mechauioal skill The chapel attached to each pyramid for the sepulchral rites was built at a suitable distance in front of it contrary to the practice in the tombs of subjects around in which the chapel wasconstructed in the mass of the masonry or hewn in the rock The final closing of every pyramid which was the universal custom is an important fact which is in itself enough to disprove a scientific heresy according towhioh deep seorets were concealed in the heart of the great pyramid for the enlightenment ofremote generations Prof Piazzi Smith does not consider the red granitesarcophagus a royal cofiin like every other sarcophagus in Egypt but adivinelyappointed sacred standard connecting the ancient measures with for instance the English inch Yet more here and in other parts of the pyramid he fancies that he soes the indications of profound astronomical truths which wereunknown to the old Egyptians Thiiphantasy has been pushod to the length of making the pyramid not alone a record of an ancient faith but a stone propheoy of the ages to come An Egyptologist may ridicule a theory whicli destroys the whole value of his labors a logician may protest against the selection of one pyramid on which to found ahypothesis and the rejection of all others and a choice of measurements which best suit the evolution of the fancies of tho speculator but the true answer can only be given by good mathematicians Thoy can explain the reasons of theproportions which have been interpreted away from thoir original purpose to show now easy ic is to prove auium w um uninitiated by these dangerousplaythings numbers which at last deceive the theorist himself Sir Henry James rnvnl engineer and Prof Wackerbarth of Upsalo have thus abundantly refuted the extraordinary fancies of Prof Piazzi Smyth R G Poole in Contemporary Iceview A Type of tho Tramp A dirty shabby wornout old man came into our omce a lew days since and wanted to know if we could help him on his wav to a distant city His tone was gentle the expression of his face seemed to indicate that he expecteu nothing but a rebull but nevertheless he would ask We asked him to give us a glimpse of his life to tell us why he had been a failure and why at last ho was wandering about as a common tramp It was the same old story a boy with plenty of friends and plenty of mono v a bov who disregarded the wishos of a father and the prayers of a mother a young man who knew more than friends who had fought many of the battles of life a young man who laughed at the counsels and advice oi those ho ploaBod to terra old fogies youth who wanted to enloy life and in dulge in all the socalled pleasures oi the world a vouth to whom women were as fascinating as they proved false a man unfitted for reverses when they came a man made weak by the follies of youth a man deserted by men and without hope in God a man despairing hopeless penniless with no knowledge of business no desire for work no am bition to overcome the obstacles in his pathway and no hope for the future his onlv aim his whole object being tc keep from starving and to get enough money to buy the accursed drink which was fast becoming the only thought the only object of his miserableexistence For him life might have boen a success ambition might have beengratified home friends wealth happiness all might have

will not remember the advent of a woman in this city named Mabel Carter who created considerable of a stir by writing up the horrors of the Pittsburgh Pest House in a sensational styleSubsequently she figured in religious olrolea here but eventually turneu out tobelong to the ordor of frauds She seems to have had a most eventful experience and last week was sentenced to six months hard labor in England Mabel Carter was a woman of many aliases She first came to this country about seven years ago and located inPhiladelphia She then bore the name of Mnie Evangeline Trenifidi andappeared in religious ciroles asking for sympathy Aid of any grosser sort would have seemed an insult to a being of woes so refined She was adescendant of one of the oldest families ofEnglish gentry She had offended them by a marriage with a dissolute Italian Marquis who had died and left herpenniless and homeless with one child now a boy of six But aid of the grosser sort in the way of invitations costly gifts and money was urged upon her which she accepted in an innocent childish way She was nothing but a grownup child Gray old financiers Presbyterian doctors of divinity the Sons of St Goorgo Episcopalianbishops were in turn her friends andguardians Nobody looked very curiously into her antecedents Her brown hair curled in rings about so sensitive a face her eyes were so soft and appealing her voice lowas Cordelias struck bucq a pathetic minor that nobody cared to look behind them Presently it was noticed however that one society and clique ofhumanitarians after another dropped the ten dereyed Evangeline or thrust her on into other hands She began toshimmer and shift her character before the eyes of the good Philadelphians like a Protean artiste on the burlesque stage now sne naa just neon torgiven by her haughty relatives and inherited an Elizabethan mansion In Kent with 0 000 per annum and weut about taking leave of her kind friends with a crape bordered kerchief to her eyes In a few days later she appeared on the platform beside Messrs Moody and Sankey the accredited correspondent of a well known London journal One week she was arrested on a oharge of theft and the next she was escorted by a guard of eminent Congressmen to the elevated dais in the Centennial grounds and seated beside the President and the Emperor of Brazil while the Exposition was opened She next appeared in Washington as the guostof a committee of Senators and foreign diplomatist and of the Life of Sumner A few weeks later she was again in custody forstealing and contrived almost to strangle herself with a veil knotted tightly around her throat Mme Trenifidi then disappeared from Philadelphia and Mabel Carter entered a missionary meeting in Pittsburgh walked shyly up to the pulpit caught a venerablo old clergyman by both hands and claimed recognition ns a fellow worker with him years before for the souls of the heathen in Shanghai He rubbed his spectacles did recognize her and the devout Mabel was handed tenderly around from one pious old lady to another as a religious prodigy auring tnat winter Again sue police interfered and the saintly young missionary vanished to reappear

neverthelessoccasionally availed himself of the aid of an accomplice as in the followinginstance Strolling into a theater one evening he remarked among thespectators a well known Marquis evidently more bent on displaying his airs and graces than on listening to the actors and every now and then indulging in a pinch of snuff from a magnificent gold box set rouna wira orntiants xue up D tvrf WIT frt ha with stood and Poulaillor who liad already recoonized a confederate standing at one of the side entrances of the pit contrived to exchange a few words with him after whioh ha quietly edged nis ay through the orowd and placednimlf immediately behind the Marquis Prpnentlv addressing the latter in a low tone he inquired if he might take tho liberty of requesting him to turn his face a little to the right Why so asked the astonished beau I ought not to betray secrets Monsieur was the reply but you will not perhaps be offended if I toll you that a friend of mine one of our most talentedpainterswho Is standing near the pit door on our loft has been commissionoa oy a certain lady of tho Court to sketch your portrait and has just made a sign to me signifying the attitude mostfavorable for tho purpose ThoMarquis looked in the direction indicated and perceiving an individual with a pencil and notebook in his hand whose eyes were intently fixed on him nevor for an instant doubted the truth of tho story but charmed with the homage thus paid to his fascinating exterior negligently pocketed his snuffbox and resumed what be considered an irresist ble pose Will that dor he said Admirably replied his noignoor Keep aa you are for a few moments longer and the likeness will be periect Five minutes elapsed and the Marquis orowing rather weary of his constrained position intimated as mucn in awmsner to his new acquaintance but re ceiving no answer ana on mimu round discovered that he as wen as the painter had vanished as 11 oyend11111tnipnt and what was more serious ihiithifl own watch purse and snuffbox had disappeared with them Tear Rowul All the Country Roads How we proceed here is about as fol lows The farmers of tho district are notified to appear at a certain date for duty One or two teams and a dozen men gather to the portion of tho road to he repaired As the Itoad District is a certain unit of democracy each man is as good as a boss and is mostly exempt from labor tbe boys flourish the spade and hoe but the horses are tho laboring class As for ourearthworks the deep narrow side ditches are cut still deeper the large stones and small boulders along the footpath are rolled into the center of tho track and the finish given with a top dressing of sod Los rails etc are then laid on tbe flanks to compel travel on the center Should the process beinterrupted which often happens the road is loft variegated with piles of dirt which sometimes lie unspread for the unjisnn remindiiiff the traveler rolling through an unfrioudly world that snmetlnno had been done toward im rrtupmpnt Probablv we can all soe that this is a trood wav not to do it Is there not a better way A few citi zens our best farmers are proposing to use the same good and strong sense nn Lhe roads as thev use on a lartii n letter from the original McAdam to farnipr in Central New York was long kept in which he says Remember that in your region if you keep stones OUfc tlUU WHWl UU uuru a Simple advice yet needing wit tofollow it Two ideas are growing in the minds of our people both tending to reform One is to find a man who has plain engineering wit adequate to road maifino In some diitricts one needs a lamp at noon to find him but whon found he is a treasure He is to be put and kept in charge of the roads The other is to make the tax a cashbusiness The assessment being payable in cash the overseer can employ whom he chooses and if he employs theresidents of his district they work better on a cash basis A good road saves wear and tear of wagon horses and driver it tells a pleasant tale of the good sense and good faith of the neighborhood and it adds something matonal to the value of every farm along its course Prof A B Hyde m American

add salt enough to suit your taste In killing poultry the French open the beak of the fowl and with asharppointed narrowbladed knife make an incision at the back of the roof of the mouth which divides the vertebra and oauses instant death after which the fowl is hung up by the legs to bleed This is a neat and merciful way ofdoing it Chocolate Custard Take a quart of milk and the yelks of two eggs Mix with the egga one tablespoon of corn starch only a little heaped and stir this gradually into the milk when scalded Add two squares of chocolate grated sugar to taste Pour into a dish and Bpreadover the whites of two eggs well beaten and sweetened and flavored with a little vanilla Set the whole in the oven to brown slightly Break the eggs into a bowl and stir thoroughly into them sufficient sifted flour to make a very stiff paste then place it on the kneadingboard and knead in a little more flour cut it into four or six pieces and roll each pieoe out as thin as possible let

inviting oream may be made in this way Take a pint of sweet milk thicken it with half a cupful of cornstarch and half a oupful of sugar and boil until the cream or custard is of the consistency of

lately interviewed Senator Jones on tho1 currency question The Senator fell into a discission of the matter says the correspondent without anysnojestion to that effect and the followiuninteresting conversation ensued You have exercised considerable freedom and amusement in criticising my monetary views said Senator Jones but if you have observed the Secretary of the Treasury has refused to give silver certificates any longer tor gofd showing that silver which I championed in the Senate has actually appreciated more man gold But Senator Jones silver is not good enough currency for you If Iremember you want money withoutmetal as in the form of a token an ivory chip or anvthinr that will bear the stamp of this government as a dollar les 1 hold that both gold andsilver are utterly irrelevant to theirmonetary uses The superstition which keep3 them In use will bavo lis day Nothing more is necessary to mnko money than the stamps of the ivern ment and the law making that stamped How is It Senator Jones thit von who were once tfe chief and must hril liani advocate of gold and against tho inflation bill of IS4 should now be in favor 01 such au arbitrarv kind ofmoney I came to the Senate said Mr Jones a viciini or a convert to the writings of tiie old financial authorities like Adam Smith Ainasa Walker and Stuart Mill It was alter that that Ibecame illuminated by a study 01 theactual facts of the exchange panic and currency I saw property reared by the work ot mans haids towns farms mines mills railroads alL shrink to be next to worthless while this medium of exchange gold andsilver began to mount up and up in value Whatever made life interesting was without a market and that which had no ne whatever except to be hoarded handled by Jewa was master of the times 1 said to myself There is injustice in this Wc want a money which shall not leave the country as soon as we get iio a tlht pi ce And yet you are opposed toinllation 1 am I was opposed to iheinflation hill which Grant vetoed I believe that money ought to be based on units or numbers ol the people 1 propose a kind of currency that shall he beyond the operations of Congress or politics and equally beyond the scheming of bullion peddlers flow will you begin to mako this currenev Sentor Jones All tii i iii essury is first to ascer tain the of mouvy or currency required u in an easy and proper way the exchanges ot u given number of people We may suppose that fur ten million 01 people there is required two hundred millions of money As our country hus fifty millions of people that would require oue thousandmillions of dollars I would then put tbo stamps of the govornmenton something that could not be readily counterfeited and issue it for money not to berecalled Our population would perhapsincrease at the rate of one million a year ah that is necessary to no is to increase tho coinage in that ratio so that thero mil he enough to do the increased ex changes without cramping any body or witnout any spasmodic lunation For years the geenbacks of thogovernment did tho work of money pertectly and proved the most benefieial currency we ever had These banks have no right to be monopolizing the issuing of money The government itself ought to do it and there is no necessity of fs coiisfSntly changing llsnvaVtfiiijinvliDC ing cornered or chased hither and thither What would become of the mining Interest in Nevada and the Pacific States if you would demonetize both gold and silver Ob they would be just as valuable as now lor use in aris and manufactures The monoy wo use bears but a very small part of the labor in ourtransactions Hero are uotcsofhand bonds stock due bills greenbacks shin plasters everything made a medium of exchange The moment the lawsettles upon any thing whether nickel or copper as the proper thing to coin money in It is respected as such Senator is it not a little strange that with all your previous reading you should have come to tbe Senate soignonmt on this question that tbeillumination you hail within the past few years should have made you regard all your previous knowledge us worthless I simply had refused to examine tho matter of money with a bold mind said Mr Jones 1 had adopted I lie practice of the world and thounreasoning propositions of tbo heathen liuanclal authors such as the idea that gold gets its value from the laborrequired to produce it out of the ground Nithir is more ahsurd than that I helicve that the happiness ofcivilization depends on eradicating tbe Pagan views about money Tho authority uf government directed by theintelligence of the people is enough to mako our notes and tokens go for every pur pose for which gold and silver are now uBed But how are you to give such tokens value outside of the United States Why they would be gladly taken where wc have dealings and we are not taking care of foreign estates any way We bavo everything within ourselves to keep us alive and we want acurrency that can not bo pulled away from us prostrating every industry and tha government itself at odd limes My argument which I put forward in the silver report on this subject bus never been answered I

Kbufu of Cheops of the fourth dynasty was originally 4i0 feet nine inches and the base 7bl fet It isvirtually a mass of solid masmry for the rock must take up but a small proportion of the interior and the chambers and passage have no appreciate relation to the whole bulk The material chiefly employed is the limestonoon which the structure stands which was in part oletued away to make alevel platform 1 but tho finer quality used for thecasing stones and liniug of passages was quarried on the other side of the river nearly ten miles away and the red granite also used for inner casing and lor the sarcophagus was quarried at Syene at the extreme south of Egypt nearly 550 miles awaj by the course of the river We mustrinomber that tho third pyramid uovv 103 feet high was cased in part or wholly with granite of Syeno How did the Egyptianscontrive to transport and raise these vast blocks of stone Let us look at the whole process rirst a labor of quarrying without any of the modern aids of blasting must have beenenormous especially when the hard red granite which turns the edges of our modern steel tools and yet was cut by i bronze ones had to be hewn out anil shaped into accurate blocks The transport to the river was not difficult and the descent on rafts during the high Nile would have met no risks but from sandbanks At this period of the year tho rafts would have been brought by a canal very near the site of the pyramid A causeway of which there are remains would have made tho land transports less dillioult But it must be remembered that the only mode of moving great masses on land was by means of sledges drawn by men or oxen So far we see only a vastexpenditure of almost unaided labor how vast we do not appreciate for it isbeyond imagination to master thetremendous work we are constantlyconfused by our being unable to cast away the modern notions of facility to which we are accustomed All this prelim inary labor was followed by the actual work of building The great pyramid is not a mass of piled up stones it is a model of constructive skill A sheet of I paper can not be placed between the oasing stones and we can scarcely im agine that any mortar was spread on ttieir sides The passagos present no roughness that could arrest thesarcophagus Everything was exquisitely finished Allowance was made for the pressure of tho vast mass The great chamber of the sarcophagus has no lees than five small chambers above it to lighten the superincumbent weight over the first passage two great stones are placed in a vaulted position for tho same purpose In consequencenothing has given way Our real dillioulty begins when we endeavor to explain any mode by which the groat blocks of which the pyramid is buUt were placed in position at their various heights until the top stone was put upon the summit and tho work of oasing completed the wonder It would be easy to find a method if it did not entail as much labor as the building of the pyramid HseU Rejecting any such view the mostreasonable conjecture that can be offered is that incline planes ran along the sides of the giant steps in which the pyramid was built and that the stones were dragged up them by the workmen It is necessary here to note that when the 1 nmomiT wu hfuI boen placed in i the sepulchral chami 1J i passage was permanently closed and heavy portcullises lowered at intervals this needing great mechauioal skill The chapel attached to each pyramid for the sepulchral rites was built at a suitable distance in front of it contrary to the practice in the tombs of subjects around in which the chapel wasconstructed in the mass of the masonry or hewn in the rock The final closing of every pyramid which was the universal custom is an important fact which is in itself enough to disprove a scientific heresy according towhioh deep seorets were concealed in the heart of the great pyramid for the enlightenment ofremote generations Prof Piazzi Smith does not consider the red granitesarcophagus a royal cofiin like every other sarcophagus in Egypt but adivinelyappointed sacred standard connecting the ancient measures with for instance the English inch Yet more here and in other parts of the pyramid he fancies that he soes the indications of profound astronomical truths which wereunknown to the old Egyptians Thiiphantasy has been pushod to the length of making the pyramid not alone a record of an ancient faith but a stone propheoy of the ages to come An Egyptologist may ridicule a theory whicli destroys the whole value of his labors a logician may protest against the selection of one pyramid on which to found ahypothesis and the rejection of all others and a choice of measurements which best suit the evolution of the fancies of tho speculator but the true answer can only be given by good mathematicians Thoy can explain the reasons of theproportions which have been interpreted away from thoir original purpose to show now easy ic is to prove auium w um uninitiated by these dangerousplaythings numbers which at last deceive the theorist himself Sir Henry James rnvnl engineer and Prof Wackerbarth of Upsalo have thus abundantly refuted the extraordinary fancies of Prof Piazzi Smyth R G Poole in Contemporary Iceview A Type of tho Tramp A dirty shabby wornout old man came into our omce a lew days since and wanted to know if we could help him on his wav to a distant city His tone was gentle the expression of his face seemed to indicate that he expecteu nothing but a rebull but nevertheless he would ask We asked him to give us a glimpse of his life to tell us why he had been a failure and why at last ho was wandering about as a common tramp It was the same old story a boy with plenty of friends and plenty of mono v a bov who disregarded the wishos of a father and the prayers of a mother a young man who knew more than friends who had fought many of the battles of life a young man who laughed at the counsels and advice oi those ho ploaBod to terra old fogies youth who wanted to enloy life and in dulge in all the socalled pleasures oi the world a vouth to whom women were as fascinating as they proved false a man unfitted for reverses when they came a man made weak by the follies of youth a man deserted by men and without hope in God a man despairing hopeless penniless with no knowledge of business no desire for work no am bition to overcome the obstacles in his pathway and no hope for the future his onlv aim his whole object being tc keep from starving and to get enough money to buy the accursed drink which was fast becoming the only thought the only object of his miserableexistence For him life might have boen a success ambition might have beengratified home friends wealth happiness all might have

will not remember the advent of a woman in this city named Mabel Carter who created considerable of a stir by writing up the horrors of the Pittsburgh Pest House in a sensational styleSubsequently she figured in religious olrolea here but eventually turneu out tobelong to the ordor of frauds She seems to have had a most eventful experience and last week was sentenced to six months hard labor in England Mabel Carter was a woman of many aliases She first came to this country about seven years ago and located inPhiladelphia She then bore the name of Mnie Evangeline Trenifidi andappeared in religious ciroles asking for sympathy Aid of any grosser sort would have seemed an insult to a being of woes so refined She was adescendant of one of the oldest families ofEnglish gentry She had offended them by a marriage with a dissolute Italian Marquis who had died and left herpenniless and homeless with one child now a boy of six But aid of the grosser sort in the way of invitations costly gifts and money was urged upon her which she accepted in an innocent childish way She was nothing but a grownup child Gray old financiers Presbyterian doctors of divinity the Sons of St Goorgo Episcopalianbishops were in turn her friends andguardians Nobody looked very curiously into her antecedents Her brown hair curled in rings about so sensitive a face her eyes were so soft and appealing her voice lowas Cordelias struck bucq a pathetic minor that nobody cared to look behind them Presently it was noticed however that one society and clique ofhumanitarians after another dropped the ten dereyed Evangeline or thrust her on into other hands She began toshimmer and shift her character before the eyes of the good Philadelphians like a Protean artiste on the burlesque stage now sne naa just neon torgiven by her haughty relatives and inherited an Elizabethan mansion In Kent with 0 000 per annum and weut about taking leave of her kind friends with a crape bordered kerchief to her eyes In a few days later she appeared on the platform beside Messrs Moody and Sankey the accredited correspondent of a well known London journal One week she was arrested on a oharge of theft and the next she was escorted by a guard of eminent Congressmen to the elevated dais in the Centennial grounds and seated beside the President and the Emperor of Brazil while the Exposition was opened She next appeared in Washington as the guostof a committee of Senators and foreign diplomatist and of the Life of Sumner A few weeks later she was again in custody forstealing and contrived almost to strangle herself with a veil knotted tightly around her throat Mme Trenifidi then disappeared from Philadelphia and Mabel Carter entered a missionary meeting in Pittsburgh walked shyly up to the pulpit caught a venerablo old clergyman by both hands and claimed recognition ns a fellow worker with him years before for the souls of the heathen in Shanghai He rubbed his spectacles did recognize her and the devout Mabel was handed tenderly around from one pious old lady to another as a religious prodigy auring tnat winter Again sue police interfered and the saintly young missionary vanished to reappear as a ministering angel in Plevna and through the TurcoRusslan war back in En gland as a second Florence Nightingale force alias Jones after a trial wnicn attracted attention throughout allEngland to

neverthelessoccasionally availed himself of the aid of an accomplice as in the followinginstance Strolling into a theater one evening he remarked among thespectators a well known Marquis evidently more bent on displaying his airs and graces than on listening to the actors and every now and then indulging in a pinch of snuff from a magnificent gold box set rouna wira orntiants xue up D tvrf WIT

ay through the orowd and placednimlf immediately behind the Marquis Prpnentlv addressing the latter in a low tone he inquired if he might take tho liberty of requesting him to turn his face a little to the right Why so asked the astonished beau I ought not to betray secrets Monsieur was the reply but you will not perhaps be offended if I toll you that a friend of mine one of our most talentedpainterswho Is standing near the pit door on our loft has been commissionoa oy a certain lady of tho Court to sketch your portrait and has just made a sign to me signifying the attitude mostfavorable for tho purpose ThoMarquis looked in the direction indicated and perceiving an individual with a pencil and notebook in his hand whose eyes were intently fixed on him nevor for an instant doubted the truth of tho story but charmed with the homage thus paid to his fascinating exterior negligently pocketed his snuffbox and resumed what be considered an irresist ble pose Will that dor he said Admirably replied his noignoor Keep aa you are for a few moments longer and the likeness will be periect Five minutes elapsed and the Marquis orowing rather weary of his constrained

sandpaper pickles and peachstones and then takes up a collection in tbo audience to help buy himself a wooden leg Senator Jones of Kevada on Financial Beforni kath of the Cincinnati Enquirer has lately interviewed Senator Jones on tho1 currency question The Senator fell into a discission of the matter says the correspondent without anysnojestion to that effect and the followiuninteresting conversation ensued You have exercised considerable freedom and amusement in criticising my monetary views said Senator Jones but if you have observed the Secretary of the Treasury has refused to give silver certificates any longer tor gofd showing that silver which I championed in the Senate has actually appreciated more man gold But Senator Jones silver is not good enough currency for you If Iremember you want money withoutmetal as in the form of a token an ivory chip or anvthinr that will bear the stamp of this government as a dollar les 1 hold that both gold andsilver are utterly irrelevant to theirmonetary uses The superstition which keep3 them In use will bavo lis day Nothing more is necessary to mnko money than the stamps of the ivern ment and the law making that stamped How is It Senator Jones thit von who were once tfe chief and must hril liani advocate of gold and against tho inflation bill of IS4 should now be in favor 01 such au arbitrarv kind ofmoney I came to the Senate said Mr Jones a viciini or a convert to the writings of tiie old financial authorities like Adam Smith Ainasa Walker and Stuart Mill It was alter that that Ibecame illuminated by a study 01 theactual facts of the exchange panic and currency I saw property reared by the work ot mans haids towns farms mines mills railroads alL shrink to be next to worthless while this medium of exchange gold andsilver began to mount up and up in value Whatever made life interesting was without a market and that which had no ne whatever except to be hoarded handled by Jewa was master of the times 1 said to myself There is injustice in this Wc want a money which shall not leave the country as soon as we get iio a tlht pi ce And yet you are opposed toinllation 1 am I was opposed to iheinflation hill which Grant vetoed I believe that money ought to be based on units or numbers ol the people 1 propose a kind of currency that shall he beyond the operations of Congress or politics and equally beyond the scheming of bullion peddlers flow will you begin to mako this currenev Sentor Jones All tii i iii essury is first to ascer tain the of mouvy or currency required u in an easy and proper way the exchanges ot u given number of people We may suppose that fur ten million 01 people there is required two hundred millions of money As our country hus fifty millions of people that would require oue thousandmillions of dollars I would then put tbo stamps of the govornmenton something that could not be readily counterfeited and issue it for money not to berecalled Our population would perhapsincrease at the rate of one million a year ah that is necessary to no is to increase tho coinage in that ratio so that thero mil he enough to do the increased ex changes without cramping any body or witnout any spasmodic lunation For years the geenbacks of thogovernment did tho work of money pertectly and proved the most benefieial currency we ever had These banks have no right to be monopolizing the issuing of money The government itself ought to do it and there is no necessity of fs coiisfSntly changing llsnvaVtfiiijinvliDC ing cornered or chased hither and thither What would become of the mining Interest in Nevada and the Pacific States if you would demonetize both gold and silver Ob they would be just as valuable as now lor use in aris and manufactures The monoy wo use bears but a very small part of the labor in ourtransactions Hero are uotcsofhand bonds stock due bills greenbacks shin plasters everything made a medium of exchange The moment the lawsettles upon any thing whether nickel or copper as the proper thing to coin money in It is respected as such Senator is it not a little strange that with all your previous reading you should have come to tbe Senate soignonmt on this question that tbeillumination you hail within the past few years should have made you regard all your previous knowledge us worthless I simply had refused to examine tho matter of money with a bold mind said Mr Jones 1 had adopted I lie practice of the world and thounreasoning propositions of tbo heathen liuanclal authors such as the idea that gold gets its value from the laborrequired to produce it out of the ground Nithir is more ahsurd than that I helicve that the happiness ofcivilization depends on eradicating tbe Pagan views about money Tho authority uf government directed by theintelligence of the people is enough to mako our notes and tokens go for every pur pose for which gold and silver are now uBed But how are you to give such tokens value outside of the United States Why they would be gladly taken where wc have dealings and we are not taking care of foreign estates any way We bavo everything within ourselves to keep us alive and we want acurrency that can not bo pulled away from us prostrating every industry and tha government itself at odd limes My argument which I put forward in the silver report on this subject bus never been answered I would be very glad to engage in debate upou it wiih any person in tin Senate We haveImproved everv v iKie of communication of intercourse of development and of eiv llzation except the medium ot human
